Instructions:

Please make sure you carefully describe each scenes, the background etc.
I have added some [note to animator] which you should refer to.

Here is the story:

A mouse called Mickey is starting a new job in a clock tower factory.
He first work on the factory line of cogs and machine wheels.
[note to animator: display a typical factory line, a bit comical and stereotypical, like in a Charlie Chaplin movie or cartoon etc]

Later, his boss tasks him to go repair a bug clock on a huge tower.
But repairing is complicated, as the tower is very tall, the stairs seems endless,
and to repair it Mickey has to go walk on the edge of the tower, which is perilous.
Mickey gets some close calls and nearly fall off the edge, when there is a bird who arrives to nest, and is annoyed at Mickey's presence.
Finally, Mickey grabs the clock's arm, to try to set the time, then fall onto the water.
The clock's hour setting is incorrect, and mayhem ensue in the city as trains do weird things, collide etc
[note to animator: please make them cartoony, to make it less violent]
in the end, Mickey boss is angry and chase him, but Mickey evades him towards the horizon.
In the final scene we see mickey wearing a bindle (blanket stick), looking at his pocket watch with a malicious wink.
He is walking towards the horizon and sun set, then the letter "The End" display.
